Prouty, Warren (1896 - 18 Dec 1906)

Warren Prouty, aged ten years, son of Mr. and Mrs. V. W. Prouty of the town of Withee, Clark County, Wis., died of diphtheria on Tuesday morning, after an illness of less than forty-eight hours. As the boy had been attending the village school up to Friday last the schools were dismissed by the board for the usual holiday vacation upon learning of the boy's death on Tuesday. No other cases are known to exist in the neighborhood. The remains of the boy were buried yesterday in the village cemetery. The bereaved family has the sincere sympathy of the entire community in their great affliction.
